Please find them listed at the conclusion of this release.* *The Jane Addams Peace Association will announce winning and honor books from among these finalists on January 12, 2024. Awards will be presented to the winning and honored authors and illustrators at an in person ceremony in Spring 2024 (exact date to come). All are invited, whether they be in classrooms, libraries or at home.* *Since 1953, the Jane Addams Children’s Book Award has annually recognized “children’s books of literary and aesthetic excellence that effectively engage children in thinking about peace, social justice, global community, and equity for all people.” A national committee of members with passion for and expertise in children’s literature and social justice is responsible for making the choices each year. * *We believe that these books, and others like them, can open up conversations between children and their adults–teachers, librarians and caregivers–about what is happening in the world around them and how they can be changemakers in their own families and communities. We hope that promoting our final contenders in this way will serve to highlight a greater number of excellent children’s books that can deepen understanding of peace and justice.* *A special thanks to the Hastings Peace & Justice Fund for their generous support of the Jane Addams Children’s Book Award for many years.* *2024 Jane Addams Children’s Book Award Finalists for Picture Books* *A Hero Like Me.
